thing_n next_o to_o impossible_a and_o this_o likewise_o be_v a_o great_a endearment_n of_o the_o mother_n to_o the_o child_n which_o endearment_n when_o the_o child_n be_v put_v out_o be_v transfer_v from_o the_o mother_n to_o the_o nurse_n and_o many_o time_n continue_v to_o be_v so_o for_o a_o great_a many_o year_n after_o yea_o and_o often_o to_o that_o degree_n as_o if_o the_o nurse_n be_v the_o true_a mother_n and_o the_o true_a mother_n a_o mere_a stranger_n so_o that_o by_o this_o mean_v natural_a affection_n must_v be_v extreme_o weaken_a which_o be_v great_a pity_n because_o when_o it_o be_v keep_v up_o in_o its_o full_a strength_n it_o often_o prove_v one_o of_o the_o best_a security_n of_o the_o duty_n of_o a_o child_n but_o because_o this_o severe_a doctrine_n will_v go_v down_o but_o very_o hardly_o with_o a_o great_a many_o i_o must_v take_v the_o more_o care_n to_o guard_v it_o against_o the_o objection_n which_o will_v be_v make_v to_o it_o those_o from_o natural_a disability_n or_o sickness_n from_o evident_a and_o apparent_a danger_n of_o the_o mother_n or_o from_o the_o interposition_n of_o the_o father_n authority_n or_o from_o plain_a necessity_n or_o if_o there_o be_v any_o other_o that_o have_v a_o equal_a reason_n with_o these_o i_o have_v prevent_v already_o by_o allow_v they_o to_o be_v just_a and_o reasonable_a exception_n from_o the_o general_a rule_n when_o they_o be_v real_a and_o not_o make_v pretence_n to_o shake_v off_o our_o duty_n but_o there_o be_v beside_o these_o two_o objection_n which_o indeed_o be_v real_a but_o yet_o seem_v to_o have_v too_o great_a a_o weight_n with_o those_o who_o will_v fain_o decline_v this_o duty_n and_o be_v by_o no_o mean_n sufficient_a to_o excuse_v mother_n no_o not_o those_o of_o the_o high_a rank_n and_o quality_n from_o the_o natural_a obligation_n of_o it_o and_o they_o be_v these_o the_o manifest_a trouble_n and_o the_o manifold_a restraint_n which_o the_o careful_a discharge_n of_o this_o duty_n do_v unavoidable_o bring_v upon_o those_o who_o submit_v themselves_o to_o it_o 1_o sy_n for_o the_o trouble_n of_o it_o i_o have_v only_o this_o to_o say_v and_o i_o think_v that_o no_o more_o need_n to_o be_v say_v about_o it_o that_o no_o body_n be_v discharge_v from_o any_o duty_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o trouble_n which_o necessary_o attend_v it_o and_o be_v inseparable_a from_o it_o since_o god_n who_o make_v it_o a_o duty_n foresee_v the_o trouble_n of_o it_o when_o he_o make_v it_o so_o 2_o dly_z as_o to_o the_o manifold_a restraint_n which_o it_o lay_v upon_o mother_n this_o will_v best_o be_v answer_v by_o consider_v of_o what_o nature_n these_o restraint_n be_v and_o they_o be_v chief_o in_o these_o and_o the_o like_a instance_n this_o duty_n restrain_v mother_n from_o spend_v their_o morning_n and_o their_o money_n in_o curious_a and_o costly_a dress_n from_o misspend_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o day_n in_o formal_a and_o for_o the_o most_o part_n impertinent_a visit_n and_o in_o see_v and_o hear_v play_n many_o of_o which_o be_v neither_o fit_a to_o be_v see_v or_o hear_v by_o modest_a person_n and_o those_o who_o pretend_v to_o religion_n and_o virtue_n as_o i_o hope_v all_o christian_n do_v especial_o person_n of_o high_a rank_n and_o quality_n and_o it_o restrain_v they_o likewise_o from_o trifle_v away_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o night_n in_o game_n and_o in_o revel_v till_o past_a midnight_n i_o be_o loath_a to_o say_v how_o much_o these_o be_v those_o terrible_a restraint_n which_o this_o natural_a duty_n of_o mother_n nurse_v their_o child_n lay_v upon_o they_o now_o i_o can_v but_o think_v all_o these_o to_o be_v very_o happy_a restraint_n happy_a sure_o for_o the_o child_n and_o in_o many_o respect_v happy_a for_o the_o father_n and_o for_o the_o whole_a family_n which_o by_o this_o mean_n will_v be_v keep_v in_o much_o better_a order_n but_o happy_a of_o all_o for_o the_o mother_n who_o do_v herein_o not_o only_o discharge_v a_o great_a and_o necessary_a duty_n but_o be_v hereby_o also_o hinder_v from_o run_v into_o many_o great_a fault_n which_o before_o they_o will_v be_v forgive_v must_v cost_v she_o a_o deep_a contrition_n and_o a_o very_a bitter_a repentance_n perhaps_o i_o may_v have_v go_v further_o in_o this_o unusual_a argument_n than_o will_v please_v the_o present_a age_n but_o i_o hope_v posterity_n will_v be_v so_o wise_a as_o to_o consider_v it_o and_o lay_v it_o to_o heart_n for_o i_o be_o great_o afraid_a that_o the_o world_n will_v never_o be_v much_o better_a till_o this_o great_a fault_n be_v mend_v i_o proceed_v to_o the_o next_o particular_a wherein_n the_o good_a education_n of_o child_n do_v consist_v namely_o ii_o in_o bring_v they_o to_o be_v baptise_a and_o admit_v member_n of_o christ_n church_n at_o the_o time_n appoint_v or_o accustom_v in_o the_o national_a church_n of_o which_o the_o parent_n be_v member_n i_o mean_v to_o bring_v they_o to_o the_o church_n to_o be_v there_o public_o initiate_v and_o solemn_o admit_v by_o baptism_n and_o this_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n do_v strict_o enjoin_v unless_o the_o child_n be_v in_o danger_n of_o death_n and_o in_o that_o case_n only_o it_o be_v allow_v to_o administer_v baptism_n private_o and_o in_o a_o summary_n way_n without_o perform_v the_o whole_a office_n but_o then_o if_o the_o child_n live_v it_o
